Gibson 1964 SG Standard Reissue w/ Maestro Vibrola Cheery Red inc Hard Case

The 1964 Gibson SG Standard stands as a pivotal moment in electric guitar history, representing the year this iconic instrument truly found its voice. This particular model year marked significant improvements over its predecessors, with Gibson replacing the problematic side-pull vibrato system with the far more reliable Maestro Vibrola. The neck profile was also enhanced, adopting the chunky dimensions reminiscent of the legendary 1959 Les Paul™ guitars, which contributed to improved balance and playability that made the SG feel complete.

Notable players like George Harrison and Eric Clapton chose the '64 SG™ Standard for good reason - it combined exceptional tone with superior functionality. The Gibson Custom Shop has recognised this significance by creating their Historic Reissue version, which meticulously recreates every detail of the original. From the authentic construction methods to the genuine red aniline dye finish, chemically-recreated plastics, and replica electronics, this reissue captures the essence of what made the 1964 model so special.

The result is arguably the finest SG Reissue to date, offering players the opportunity to own an instrument that looks, feels, and sounds exactly like those groundbreaking guitars from 1964. For more information read our blog post - Discover the Legacy of Gibson Custom Shop.
